Let's take a little side trip. Groklaw's feldegast couldn't resist doing a text version of the heart of the AMD subpoena to Microsoft [PDF]. So, for those who'd like to track this one, here it is. He didn't do the forms, but if anyone feels inclined, you can find templates in the Groklaw Archives, in the subpoenas SCO sent Intel and The Open Group. I don't think it's necessary, but if you want to do the work, I'm happy to put it here on Groklaw.

It's a document subpoena. On page 3 of the PDF, one of the pages we haven't transcribed, you'll see that there is no one scheduled to be deposed at this time. At this point, it's about documents. Later, I'm sure after they study the documents they get, AMD will have in mind to depose some folks.

Frankly the standards questions Microsoft is being asked to provide information about fascinate me, because of the ODF story and the whole Ecma/Oasis thing. You'll see that part begin in the section on documents to be produced, paragraphs 4-6. For example, here's 4:

4. DOCUMENTS reflecting or discussing: ( I ) the design, development or
implementation of STANDARDS, SPECIFICATIONS, PROTOCOLS OR SOFTWARE FOR
SECURE INPUT OR OUTPUT INTERFACES; (2) intellectual property rights of
MICROSOFT, INTEL, or AMD relating to STANDARDS, SPECIFICATIONS, PROTOCOLS
OR SOFTWARE FOR SECURE INPUT OR OUTPUT INTERFACES; (3) licensing of
STANDARDS, SPECIFICATIONS, PROTOCOLS OR SOFTWARE FOR SECURE INPUT
OR OUTPUT INTERFACES, or any intellectual property rights related thereto, by
MICROSOFT, INTEL or AMD and the terms of such licenses; or (4) INTEL'S or AMD's
participation in or exclusion from efforts to design, develop or implement STANDARDS,
SPECIFICATIONS, PROTOCOLS OR SOFTWARE FOR SECURE INPUT OR OUTPUT
INTERFACES.

AMD seems to have something quite specific in mind. That part of this story I'll definitely be following. To think, I used to feel standards were boring.
